Prepare your monogram embroidery file in your embroidery software or by combining letters in your embroidery machine. The finished monogram should be about 3/4" tall and 1/5" wide.
Mark the center for your monogram using a marking pencil. Draw a horizontal line from the two corners forming the bottom point of the triangle.
Draw a vertical line down the center of the tie, making sure it lines up with the point of the tie.
Hoop a piece of tear away stabilizer. Mark the center of the hoop with a pen. Spray the hooped stabilizer with Web Bond Temporary Adhesive Spray.
Place the tie onto the stabilizer, lining up the mark on the tie with the mark on the stabilizer. Open out the back flaps of the tie so there is only the tie point adhered to the stabilizer. Smooth into place.
Thread your machine with Polysheen embroidery thread, choosing a color that complements the tie.
Use a size 70/10 sharp embroidery needle. Center the design over the marked centerpoint. Stitch a rectangular basting box around the area you will be embroidering.
Embroider the design. When the design is complete, first remove the basting stitches by clipping the bobbin thread on the backside of the stabilizer.
Tear away the excess stabilizer from the back of the tie.
And you're done! What an elegant gift!
Wonderful! tutorial!
